Diamonds & Despair
The glitter of a diamond is deceitful. It promises eternity, yet within its core lies a darkness, a emptiness. Diamonds are carved from the earth's veins, born of pressure and pain. Their beauty is a cruel illusion of the despair that feeds their existence. We are drawn to here their allure, yet they mirror our own inner void. Perhaps, in the end, diamonds are not a reflection of love, but a manifestation of human anguish.

The code of silence
In the shadowy underbelly of society, a chilling code of silence often prevails. This unwritten rule dictates that members must remain silent about injustices. Fear of retribution from fellow members, coupled with a sense of loyalty towards the group, upholds this powerful silence. As a result, truth is often suppressed, allowing misconduct to flourish.
Breaking this code can be dangerously perilous. Individuals dare to speak out often face severe punishment, becoming outcasts themselves. This pervasive silence creates a climate of distrust where open communication is frowned upon.
Trapped Inside, Shut Outside
The feeling of being locked in, trapped inside, imprisoned within can be suffocating, claustrophobic, overwhelming. It's a prison, cage, box of your own making, thoughts, reality. The walls close in, press down, constrict, and the air grows thick, becomes stagnant, feels heavy. You yearn to escape, break free, get out, but the door remains sealed, bars hold firm, lock refuses to budge.
Then there's the opposite: being locked out, shut outside, denied entry. The world beckons, teases, calls from just beyond your reach. You see the warmth, light, life inside, but you're excluded, separated, left behind. It can feel like a cold, lonely, desolate existence, isolated, abandoned, forgotten.
Both states mirror, reflect, share a sense of helplessness, powerlessness, resignation. They are limitations, boundaries, walls that prevent us from fully experiencing, connecting, participating in the world around us.
